Project Tracker

Track milestones, experiments, and tasks across life science teams with customizable Gantt and Kanban views.

Overview

Project Tracker is a work orchestration module within the Kaleidoscope life science data infrastructure platform, designed to help research and development teams manage their scientific work in a single, unified environment. It is built for both internal and external teams, enabling seamless coordination across programs, experiments, and day-to-day tasks.

By bringing together top-down program milestones, experimental work, and flexible human tasks, Project Tracker allows teams to compare high-level goals against live team activity — giving program leads and scientists a clear, real-time picture of progress at every level.

Core Tracking Capabilities

Milestones: Define and monitor top-down program goals to keep teams aligned with broader strategic objectives.
Experiments: Track assays and experiments tied to specific biological or chemical entities, ensuring scientific work is connected to the relevant data.
Tasks: Manage flexible human tasks and subtasks to capture all the operational work that supports research execution.
Track any property relevant to your workflow and customize tracker columns to match your team's specific needs.
Visualize work using both Gantt timeline and Kanban views, supporting different planning and execution styles.

Experiment Request Workflow

Request experiments directly from anywhere within the platform — including while reviewing dashboards or entity data — without interrupting your current workflow.
Capture specific entities and parameters when submitting requests, allowing requestors to convey the precise details needed for teammates to perform the experiment correctly.
View and manage an incoming request queue, with the ability to respond with comments, merge duplicate requests, cancel requests, or begin work immediately.

Project Tracker is part of the Kaleidoscope platform, which is designed to serve as a unified work orchestration and data infrastructure solution for life science organizations, supporting collaboration across every team — internal and external alike.
